A Research Paper By Marcela Bubnikova
Life Coach, SWITZERLAND
The clear impact of confirmation bias as a cognitive distortion on all facets of a person’s life, from their career to their family life, is something I want to emphasize. Our beliefs determine what information or facts we consider, what catches our attention, and where we put our energy. We might not be happy if our fundamental beliefs are negative. If we have a good belief, we are looking for something good because we would interpret events or other people’s behavior favorably. Confirmation bias affects how we feel and how we feel. Understanding confirmation bias, how it affects people, and how it affects the coaching process, in my opinion, is crucial to the coaching process.
